7afe engine build, top end Options

[lfk13114]

came from toyotacelicas.com and like noone over there seems to help ne more.

Just to make sure, this is more a question and some help, i hope i am in the right section.

ok i have a 7afe, i have completed everything i've wanted to bottom end. i had it bored from 81 to a 82.5 mm, forged wiseco pistons, pauter rods, rings (9.5:1 comp) high velocity oil pump, bearings ect... i am adding a turbo kit, looking at garret t25bb.

ok with that mentioned, i cant find a single thing to where i can boost my top end. i was looking for cams with longer durations, performance springs, basically the works. so i am wondering, do any other heads fit on the 7afe, whats needed for the modification, machineing, ect.., i heard the 4age fit right on there, but i am still coming up empty handed looking for parts. and its pretty close the 7afe head. i would need all the SAFC and prob E-Manage, wiring harness and all that.


i am wondering if any honda engines like the K series heads might possibly(way out there idea i kno) fit. if not i want something that i can work with and play with.


i have a crap load of money and time into bottom end, i am in desperate need of help and i dont want to ditch it cause its a dead end
if this is posted in the wrong forum i aplogize and please re-direct
please help

so please any ideas, or sites would be much helped

it has taken me about 1 month to do the parts, my cousin actually owns a engine shop around here so all said and done i had the engine bored the 1.5 mm over for 160$, that included the acid bath, but take into consideration that he gave me deal. but i have the web site for the internals

http://www.importperformanceparts.net/impo...pek-toyota.html

its number 27 on the list, gives you the pistons (u specify what size), rings(specify comp ratio), gaskets, wrist pins, main and rod bearings, timing belt, freeze plugs, thrust washers. i ordered the pauter rods, it has a link in blue along with the turbo kits. i opted to get the high velocity oil pump cause of the turbo i am gonna do. it cost me 1000 for all that and about 130 shipped.

i havent bought the turbo yet cause i am worried about the head. but the link is right in the box, but they have like 4 differnet options in there, i would go with the extreme kit, thats what i am gonna do, it comes with all the little extras and intercooler, i would like to get a air to water, price for the basic kits is actually very nicely priced, when compared to other names like HKS and Turbonetics(not sure if turbonetics makes one for the engine). the kit is garret which is a really good name, very reliable.

but after said and done with the bottom end it has been roughly 2100 dollars into the bottom end thats including shipping on the parts and machine shop work.

i have spent about month installing parts, taken so long cause i work and go to school and all the good ****, but its better to take your time.

ooo almost forgot to, i pulled this engine out of a corolla out of a junkyard, didnt want to take mine out of my car and wait so long, need a car to get me from places still, lol. so that engine had 120,000 miles on it, it was in decent condition, starting to get a little flaky, but the acid bath made it look like it was just dropped out of the mold. also made the parts install go easier, cleaned everything very nice

the engine was only like 120 plus 50 bucks on a core, didnt turn one in, prob not, lol

but yea i ve been to toyotacelica.com, celicatech.com and finally here for some advice on the top end.

i would like to see if a K series honda head might work, most of the B series have the intake and throttle bodies on the left of the engine instead of the right like the 7afe, so there is a prob there, but i kno that the k series engines have alot of aftermarket parts especially topend.

let me kno if yea have any other questions
